All solid discussion points.

I was going to argue there is incorrect assessments that there is only war as an enforceability.. we are all forgetting the existence of sovereign laws? Remember Isaac versus Skeleton. A domestic case was adjudicated by domestic courts. Contracts could be recognized and protected by national law, and the difference in various national contract laws would encourage competition and experimentation. Some regions could attract settlement through a rule of law and strong bilateral agreements with other nations to encourage cross border compliance.

But, none of the above takes away from the amazing discussion about limits of procedurally enforcing contracts, as your points apply to domestic as well as imperial cases or models.

I still personally encourage some of you all to consider a domestic model of enforcement, for since the empire never interfered before, why centralise a power and take those rights away from sovereigns?

Skeletal Archer vs The Kingdom of Isilioth was a domestic case. This will cover inter-realm contracts when such things are not possible. The Council should be there to defend their nations or punish others when they misbehave. The county of Laghima doesnt have much ability to fight or enforce any sort of authority against Perth or other large lands without such Constitutional defense.

Extensive discussion and legal wrangling both here and in Mumble has resulted in language that met with the satisfaction of all present:

Contracts, Treaties, and Multilateral Agreements between realms recognized under the Council of the Crowned shall be legally recognized by the Imperial Court if the contract in question is fully and publicly declared and detailed in the Imperial Court beforehand. Legal contracts may be enforced by the Imperial Court in a manner determined by way of a civil case if any party subject to the contract in question provides evidence of impropriety by any other included party.
